ram seated properly? take it out and check again
gpu seated properly? take it out and check
have you gone and bent the pins of the motherboard during installation? check
2-3 seconds boot is normal for modern hardware - its so it doesnt kill all your stuff!
if the gpu fan is going mental and it wont boot it normally means you havent put it in the slot correctly.

i cant really help you without seeing it, and i cant download that vid - upload it to youtube or something.
managed to get it up and running. Aparently i was blind enough to not notice the 8 pin extension which was the cause, dunno why really was working fine on old setup. Ive run into a few other issues though.
I noticed at default my ram was running at 1333mhz, so i upped the ratio to 6 to make it run at 1600 and upped the voltage to 1.5 from the default 1.47 but the pc wont boot just cycles fast short boots, havent altered cpu multi or anything else except turning off EIST. Did I need to change any other voltages?
Also while I was buiding the pc i unplugged everything from the psu and only noticed that one of the 6 pin connection on my psu (Corsair 620watt hx) has come out slightly and I cant push it back in, this causes my gpu to not get power half of the times getting a bit annoying. I bought it 3 years ago, says 5 years guarentee on the box, guessig it would be poss to have it replaced or something?, would I have to contant corsair directly or go through ocuk folks?
Cheers
